MiParis Music is a newly formed Gospel, Inspirational and Jazz record label, that was created in 2012, by singer, songwriter and producer Michael Upshaw. The label and studio is based in Elkins Park Pennsylvania.

Upshaw's notable highlights in his career are performing with and opening for many popular legendary artists from an array of musical genre's, Dorothy Norwood, Commission, Willie Neals and The Gospel Keynotes, Billy Paul, The Trammps, The Intruders, The Stylistics, The Dells, Major Harris, Barbara Mason, Betty Wright, Angela Winbush, SWV, Jean Carne and a list of other's.

Upshaw has always welcomed new and exciting career challenges, so when the opportunity was presented for him to take to the theater stage he seized the moment. Upshaw's name appeared in the Playbill not once but on three separate occasions, including once for his role in the "Buddy Bolden Story" written by Tony Award winner Joseph A. Walker, and twice for his lead and singing role in "Essentially Ellington" at the Harold Prince Theater in Philadelphia, PA.

Upshaw has lent his vocals as a featured artist and background vocalist on more than 40 recording projects internationally. Upshaw stepped front and center early 2015 with the MiParis Music release of the gospel classic "My Soul Has Been Anchored In The Lord" - featuring his friend Grammy Nominated saxophonist Gerald Albright.

To his numerous credits, Michael has performed at various record conventions such as The Young Black Radio Coalition, The South East Music Conference and The Impact Convention. He was also one of many performers on Welcome America in Philadelphia, PA and served as the Anthemist for the National Basketball Association's Philadelphia 76ers for more than 2 years.

In 1989, Michael gave his life to Christ. After accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour, there were challenges that came along the way. Even through the challenges, issues and situations that he faced, he was always reminded of scriptures that will never leave him, and are kept in his heart and on his mind daily. Words that are a constant reminder of the love that God has for us. He in turn shares with others about the Lord and what He who holds all power, can only do in our lives, in hope that someone will ask the question, "What must I do to be saved?" Michael's prayer is that all who listen to this CD will be blessed in some way.

Please read the below scriptures. Recite and memorize them. Believe God's word and see how your life will be impacted and changed.
